Trying to get the fab ISP circuit cut, populated and programmed has presented so many problems that I now feel disadvantaged and quite a distance behind on the electronics.

The circuit is so small that even using the large magnifying glasses (self lit) at the maklab I have extreme difficulties in seeing what to solder however I have finally created a circuit and populated this, now comes the programming.

To programme the chip we need to connect it to “the Box” (at this point I discovered that the usb socket - the hardest thing to see is only there to provide power) and down load the programme however as I am trailing behind before I can use the “the box” we have discovered that it is broken and now the only way to program my chip is from one made by someone else in the group. This is still to be done.
